I posted a new photo a few days ago. And a few minutes after that I got an inspration for a blog post.
I’ve always liked posting photos. I only wanted to post just because of the sake of posting. To feel cool. Every day, or at least once a week I would post something. But it did not make me feel like a cool instagramer.
Those picures most of the times had no meaning. It was “just ’cause”. Now some of those pictures are long gone – deleted, or maybe archived.
I don’t really recall when and/or how, but somehow it came to me. I don’t need this. I don’t need to take pictures of meaningless things just so I could post them because of the sake of posting. That is not healthy. That is not how it works. I am also hurting myself… kind of.
Now it’s different.
I post pictures that have and that include a story behind them. It can be anything.. a good time with friends or family, a trip, a memory, a craft… But there are also my official photography pictures, that I take with my Nikon camera or maybe the same phone. Those are not many, but when they appear.. they appear. 😀
Now there is a meaning. And whenever I am in the middle of posting a new picture I ask myself “Is this the right one? Does this have a story?”.
Of course, I want my pictures to match the grid and look good together.. I am not an animal or something. 😀
Back to the stories and meaning…
What is instagram? It is a blog. It is a place to speak your mind, to tell stories. I may be at the beginning of understanding how to finally do it, but I wish to tell more stories.. even if the story is masked in words that carry a meaning that only I would understand.
I would like to know… How do you Instagram?
Thank you for reading my blog, good friend!
P.s. Here is a magical portal that will lead you to my Instagram:
MERLIN’S BEARD! IT TRULY IS A PORTAL!
Best wishes,
Sounds like a good idea to post pictures with stories 😊

Thank you!
But it’s not quite easy.. at least not for me. Not a lot of stories happen or if they do then not always they are for online posting.
